I wanted to try your MonitorClock but after selecting the MonitorClock in the ACP settings and pressing Done, the clock style doesn't change!?
Do I need something else to use your style?
After untarring it / putting it in the folder, did you restart the status menu? "killall hildon-status-menu" in X-Term (doesn't have to be root, user can do it too) should do it.
If that's not working, perhaps check your /usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/clocks folder? (/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin symlinks to /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin, so you can check /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/clocks too, though if your symlink isn't broken, it shouldn't matter which one you check.)
You can also post the output of
Code:
ls -l /usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/clocks/
and
Code:
ls -l /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/clocks/
(I say both in case the symlink got undone at some point for whatever reason.)
Also, what are your clock settings? It's possible you have some combination of settings that I never tested, that crashes it.
but the clock is a bit too small for me
how about a style with only the cpu and mem bars, but draw them horizontally under the clock, so the clock can be taller!
and the cpu/mem bars would be also wider (as wide as the time string)...
That's actually a rather neat idea. I spent all this time following my vision of the clock style I wanted, but now that I can make it, I wouldn't mind doing different variants like you suggested. Give me a day or two and I should have a spare moment to make what you suggested.
I thought about doing it myself, but as I'm not familiar with python, only with some Oberon and C programming on MorphOS/Amiga it would take definitly longer then two days
You just need a static png file for each number. name them 1.png, 2.png... etc.
I nicked Qosimo's pngs from the qbw flipclock thread and resized them to 25 X 36.
Create a folder in home/opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-clock-plugin/digits. Name the folder whatever you like.
In the advanced clock plugin settings select;
- use images for drawing digits
and select the image set you created.
Thanks again to Wonko, qosimo, etc...
Hi.
Still doesn't work for me...
When I check use images for drawing digits
and select the image Q_Brushed Aluminium-Clock, from Qosmio, the clock simply not appear...
Trouble with Theme Customizer?
First thing's first: Did you restart the status menu or reboot since copying those images? Second: If there is some other problem, it wouldn't be from Theme Customizer as far as I know - theme customizer doesn't touch the folders Advanced Clock Plugin uses, or any of the binaries/packages it works with.

Really wanted this to work, but like anything other than the binary clock - when I select it I see nothing but a single blank spot.

Sigh.
Can you list your Advanced Clock Plugin settings exactly? Oh, also, are you using the one from Extras, Extras-Testing, or Extras Devel? (I'm always on Devel, so I don't exactly remember what the versions lower down might be, or if it's even made it that far.)
Bitrocky: The clock style you suggested is effectively almosy done in it's basic form, however, I decided to make it a bit better, so it'll take a tad longer - namely, I'm making it so that the cpu/mem bars resize with the size of the numbers/text of the clock.
